  1. Town Square Screenshots! [UPDATED APRIL 2017]

    This looks like heaven on earth!
  2. Murder

    Guys try to keep in mind every little step you put into something like a murder will take time and need people to roleplay it out correctly. If you add too many steps into the mix then something will get lost and people will get tired of waiting. Too many people involved = less fun and more time spent on 1 thing. We can always give murder investigations a time window before its backlogged and everyone moves on or we can document things on the in game system every time we are involved with a player. There are many ways of keeping track of what we can / should be doing. I know I will be bringing my ideas to the table when it comes to how things are looked at like (murder) from an investigation / roleplay / fun aspect. The biggest thing to remember is people are going to get hurt and we are in a space where we need to play the situation out but also try to do our best to serve the situation for what it is. Time and attention will be what kills people into moving faster than they should. That's why we need to keep the steps simple yet effective.
  3. Good Afternoon, I thought I would add a new topic that many people might be trying to overlook in this new RPG we are all so excited about. I wanted to bring up the role play aspect of Officer Integrity. I know from what I have read we will have a voting system on officers and other official positions that players can have direct input on. This alone makes for an amazing opportunity for people who want to play in the Law Enforcemtn rolls and other goernment rolls when the time comes. Please use this small guide as a reminder of what Integrity means to officers Police Integrity A police force with integrity is one with little or no misconduct or corruption. In the past, most studies viewed the problem of misconduct as one of individual problem officers, the so-called bad apples on the force. More recent studies show that whites generally see misconduct as episodic and confined to individual officers, while blacks tend to see misconduct as a more entrenched aspect of policing. Management and Culture Affect Integrity Current research finds that the management and culture of a department are the most important factors influencing police behavior.[2] How the department is managed will dramatically affect how officers behave toward citizens. And how officers behave toward citizens will affect whether citizens view law enforcement as an institution with integrity. Organizations that place priorities in the following areas will do better at maintaining integrity • Accountability of managers and supervisors • Equal treatment for all members of the organization • Citizen accessibility to the department • Inspections and audits • Quality education for employees Defining values and principles and incorporating them into every facet of operations may be more important than hiring decisions. Diligence in detecting and addressing misconduct will show officers that managers practice what they preach. How to Improve Integrity Findings from a study of 3,235 officers from 30 mostly municipal law enforcement agencies reveal the following recommendations for police managers: • Address and discipline minor offenses so officers learn that major offenses will be disciplined too. • Open the disciplinary process to public scrutiny. • Rotate officer assignments to discourage the formation of bonds that lead officers to cover up the misconduct of others. Many departments are improving integrity and raising the standards for officers by taking the following steps: • Improving the way they hire and train officers in ethics and cultural awareness. • Collecting data to track traffic stops and other encounters with citizens. • Soliciting community input through citizen review boards, ombudsmen or community problem-solving initiatives. I feel that if most if not ALL of the suggestions and lessons learned from these studies and examples of what to do will help new people just getting into the idea of this role playing community as well as veterans and founders of the game. If you have any questions or want to message me to chat about these thoughts feel free to do so. Very Respectfully Tiger_lily
